Google CEO hopes Gemini will be built-in on iOS 19
Back in February, some code in the iOS 18.4 beta revealed that Apple was preparing to add Google's Gemini to Apple Intelligence, following its initial partnership with OpenAI for ChatGPT.
And now Google CEO Sundar Pichai has said in court proceedings that he is hopeful that Gemini will be added as a built-in AI option in iOS this year. He added that he's been in talks about the feature with Apple CEO Tim Cook throughout 2024. Pichai hopes that a deal on the matter between the two companies will be done by the middle of this year.
That is incidentally when Apple is expected to unveil iOS 19, during its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which usually takes place in June. So this entire timeline seems to imply that as of the iOS 19 betas, which should be released in June, Google's Gemini could be a built-in AI option alongside ChatGPT.
Pichai made his remarks in court proceedings during the US Government's ongoing antitrust trial against Google.

Sigh, secrecy and privacy should not be advertised anymore, if they want to be honest with consumers.

if you genuinely think apple isn't also invading your privacy (and that there's no way to get away from Google on Android), I feel very sorry for you
